I guess, but more important what is the game plan to stop the spread so we don’t need the ICU bed?? Florida has significant issues and something has to be done. The Villages is not a protective bubble..... I know three people who have had it or have it. People are coming here to get away from it in South Florida. Just met a couple on the golf course that got a cheap summer rental to escape it. Our numbers do not even support being in Phase 2. It only takes a few to start a major spread as evidenced in house parties, bars etc.
Considering our demographics and that many people over 65 have or have had medical issues, I think we should each manage our risk and the risk to others.

0.6% of Sumter County residents have caught covid since day one. As of July 4, there were 133 covid cases in The Villages itself. So percentage of Villagers is even smaller. The median age of new cases for last 3 days is 40, 28, and 45. What's that mean? Villagers are being very careful and don't need the panic pushers unsolicited advice.
